The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party
Did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history? Watch as Carol Swain, professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, shares the inconvenient history of the Democratic Party.
ME: The entire history of the Democrat Party is that of slavery, hate, lies, brutality and violence, and they are no different today

The Democratic Party didn't 'start the Civil War'- sorry that would be the white conservative males in the Confederate States.
The Democratic Party also didn't fight against every major civil rights act- which you know because it was the Democrats who managed to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act- with Republican Support.
However, Republicans up until 1964 were on the forefront of Civil Rights for minorities in America. Not so much later.
What is laughable is that of course there is another thread- by a Republican- whining about how Democrats are attacking the Confederate 'traditions'
The truth is that former Democrats founded the Confederate States of America- which was predicated on protecting slave owning rights.
The truth is that the current supporters of the legacy of the Confederate slave owning states are Republicans.
The truth is that roughly 90% of the descendents of African American slaves are members of the Democrat Party.
The truth is that the Republican Party- which was founded to oppose slavery- has left its roots behind- and that is the reason why African Americans have moved from being solidly Republican in around 1930 to being solidly Democrat today.
